The density of ice is about 0.917 of that of fresh water.

Essentially all the world's ice is locked up in the Antarctic, and it is likewise essentially the total volume of fresh water on Earth.

It is ~ 3 - 4 % of the Earths total water, of which most is in the Oceans.

The volume of the Oceans is about 1.3x109km3. So 3 or 4 % of that volume is the volume of earth's ice. I'm sure your calculator can handle the calculation.

It is not worth making the correction for the manner in which ice expands when it freezes, for the numbers are necessarily approximate.

What if icebergs were to melt what would happen to the sea level?

Icebergs melting have no effect at all on sea levels. Ice bergs are floating ice. Floating ice displaces exactly the same volume of water as the ice itself will have when it melts, and therefore total volume does not change as ice melts. A simple experiment in your own kitchen will verify this fact.


What do you mean by melting of icebergs?

Melting of icebergs refers to the process of icebergs turning from solid ice into liquid water due to rising temperatures. As the temperatures warm, the icebergs lose mass and volume as they melt, contributing to rising sea levels. This phenomenon is a result of climate change and poses a threat to coastal communities and ecosystems.

Are there any months when there are no icebergs?

Depends on the latitude. Sufficiently close to the poles there are ALWAYS icebergs. And sufficiently close to the equator there are NEVER icebergs. After that, icebergs or not is always a probability influenced by latitude and season.
